That's a good idea. Readability is important. As I just
inadvertently demonstrated, it can easily be misunderstood.

It's happening on several accounts, but only those which get the
Pottery Barn spam. On its own merits, the PB messages gets a score
of about 2 or 3. That's not enough for my setup to reject it. I
don't do that until 4. But, with the blacklist being 100, that score
gets bumped to 102 or 103. I don't currently have a message from PB,
but I'll probably get one today or tomorrow. I'll send the
appropriate headers.
